Copyright and re-use of information

Please be aware that copyright may exist on information that we provide in
response to requests, including attachments.

 

Where we are providing information that the Council has authored, you may
re-use it free of charge unless we have stated otherwise in our response.
However, in some cases we do not own the copyright (for example Ordnance
Survey owns the copyright for most map information we use). Therefore,
where someone other than Guildford Borough Council owns the copyright for
the information, please check with us by writing to
[1][Guildford Borough Council request email] if you plan to re-use it or if you are not sure
whether copyright will be an issue. 

 

Your right to ask for an internal review

I trust the above addresses your enquiry. However, if you do not agree
with the way I have dealt with your request, you may write to ask the
Council to review my decision. Another officer will carry out a review and
they will then write to you, letting you know whether they agree with my
decision or whether they have reached a different conclusion.

 

You should write to, Customer Services, Guildford Borough Council,
Millmead House, Millmead, Guildford GU2 4BB ([2][Guildford Borough Council request email]). It
is important that you clearly state that you are asking for an Internal
Review and provide a copy of your correspondence with the Council about
this request.  We recommend that you include the FOI reference number and
“Internal Review” in the email or letter header to help avoid delays.

 

Your right to appeal to the Information Commissioner

You also have the right to contact the Information Commissioner if you
believe we have failed to meet our obligations to deal with your request
for information. Please remember that they will usually only consider
appeals after the Council has had the opportunity to carry out an internal
review.  More guidance about your rights is available on the Information
Commissioner’s website at [3]www.ico.org.uk.

 

Yours sincerely
